In the evening, you’ll experience the exhilaration of an incredible off-road excursion aboard the world’s most serious 4x4. Be sure to take pictures because no one back home will believe where you’ve been!

Raft & camp:

Check out of the Gonzo Inn and join us for a 2-day rafting adventure on the Colorado River. On the first day of your trip, you’ll wind through crimson cliffs on serene waters, perfect for swimming and the occasional water fight. Savor a barbeque dinner as you watch the sunset bathe the red rock landscape in a dazzling array of light and color. Then fall asleep to the sounds of the river under a blanket of innumerable stars. The next morning, you'll awake to the smells of coffee brewing and bacon sizzling. After breakfast, we break camp and head down the river. Moderate whitewater, wondrous sights and a delicious lunch round out the perfect 2-day river adventure.

Southwest Sampler Vacation » Guest Comments

As a local I am often asked why I don’t go on vacation in California or Nevada. One look at some of pictures from some of our river trips (this is my third trip with Western River) and what does Disneyland or Las Vegas have to compare. Disneyland has no ride to match thrills you get when you hit white water. As for the glitter of Las Vegas, the Milky Way far out shines anything Las Vegas has to offer. The food is great and you just can beat the ambiance, Dinner served at sunset with the red rock in the back ground is quite breath taking. Will I do another river trip? The answer is yes I will!
